Great Film overall

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

This was more an attempt to get all three of the leading actresses naked than a serious attempt at a horror flick. It was boring and not to mention not the least bit scary. More than anything it lacked any kind of sense of direction - had a fragmented and disjointed back story that never did get explained and really bad acting to boot. The creepy kid was the scariest thing about the whole movie. I'm not really sure if the script was just this bad or the director was just trying to figure out ways to get the actresses clothes off. Although they were mildly hot, it didn't fit in this movie at all and actually just made the film seem silly. I've actually seen better story lines in cheap porn flicks than this.In short, save your money and your time...this isn't even worth the price of a rental.

A motley coed quintet of attractive, but untalented young thespians are hired by a flaky, testy, crippled millionaire (a wonderfully loud and flamboyant turn by Francois Berleand) who resides in an opulent castle abode located deep in the remote woods to put on a play for his scarily quiet autistic grandson. A vicious rapist and serial killer with a foul penchant for butchering lovely young lasses has been conducting a brutal campaign of terror in the same sylvan area. Come nightfall many of the actors and actresses start getting bumped off in assorted ghastly ways. Could it be the serial killer or someone else who's behind the gruesome killings? Director Lionel Delplanque carefully establishes a genuinely spooky and unnerving tone in the deliberately paced opening third before cutting loose with a breathtaking series of ferocious murder set pieces. Better yet, Delplanque adroitly blends the brooding midnight-in-the-graveyard gloom-doom atmosphere of 60's Gothic horror features with the more graphic gag-you-with-a-pitchfork gore that proliferated in gritty 70's fright films into a potently creepy and jarring synthesis. The strikingly savage kill scenes make inspired nasty use of a nail gun, a harpoon, scalding acid, and other deadly implements. And since this is a European movie, there's an explicitly pronounced kinky sexual angle to further spice things up: stunningly comely starlet Clotilde Courau doffs all her duds to show us what she's got (plenty and it's all good, man!) some fifteen minutes into the picture, plus we have lesbianism, voyeurism and the fabulously full-figured Maud Buquet takes a welcome steamy shower. While the story quite frankly suffers from severe lapses in logic and admittedly lacks originality, this movie nonetheless still rates as a satisfyingly harsh, serious and properly twisted shockathon that does the trick with considerable style and aplomb to spare.

I have seen Deep in the Woods today and I'm deeply disturbed by this ''movie.'' First of all, I find it hard to believe that the writing staff didn't write the script after a drink or two. First of all, the actors, discover that there is a rapist in the woods, and after that revelation they go for a stroll in the woods?! One of them, Spohie, I think, stays in the house and plays the guitar like she's in her house and is waiting dinner?! And the policeman just gets in the house like the house is his or like he has the keys of the house?! now I know, how can I torment my friends. I'll just let them see Deep in the Woods. For the love of God, don't see this film!

The movie itself was very confusing... even after viewing the entire thing I nor anybody else understood. In addition the first 30-45 mins of the movie were taken up mostly by sex scenes, one which looked like it might turn into an orgy and another between two girls. All in all it was not a bad movie, but it had a lot of holes in the story and too many sexual subplots.
